What is SMTP?

Popular email clients like Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc are constantly improving their services to reduce email spam. One of the things their spam tools look for is whether an email is originating from the location it claims to be originating from.

If the proper authentication isn’t there, then the emails either go in your SPAM folder or worst not get delivered at all.

This is a problem for a lot of WordPress sites because by default, WordPress uses the PHP mail function to send emails generated by WordPress or any contact form plugin like WPForms.

If you’ve stumbled upon a bug, the best place to report it is in the WP Mail SMTP GitHub repository. GitHub is where the plugin is actively developed, and posting there will get your issue quickly seen by our developers (myself and Slava). Once posted, we’ll review your bug report and triage the bug. When creating an issue, the more details you can add to your report, the faster the bug can be solved.

Can you add feature x, y or z to the plugin?

Short answer: maybe.

By all means please contact us to discuss features or options you’d like to see added to the plugin. We can’t guarantee to add all of them, but we will consider all sensible requests. We can be contacted here:https://wpforms.com/contact/

I was having trouble connecting to my GSUITE account with another plugin. After trying several options, I landed on this plugin.
It made connecting to my GSUITE account a breeze and my messages were no longer hitting the spam folder.
I really appreciate all the time and effort it took to make this plugin both free and a reality.

The only flaw which bothers me a lot is the fact that this plugin requests "read" permission from Gmail on integration process with G-Suite. I believe it's not required and it's against our privacy since our confidential data is being exposed. It also requires "permanently delete" permission which makes our inbox unsafe. I hope development team find a solution for this issue as soon as possible and come up with an update.
